So it seems i haven't written on here for quite some time but Ive been one busy girlie!
Just completed my first year uni exams and to be honest I feel as though maybe I was just a little bit too calm about them in comparison to others who i spoke to about it.
I suppose only time will tell if my relaxed and calm attitude really has paid off and done me justice.
Overall, life is pretty good at the moment I'm back home for 4 months which in all honesty I am loving, spending time with my mates and seeing the legend that is Grannie p and of course Liam ha!
I've also joined a gym whilst I've been back, which is going great with the ongoing weight issue but I am getting bored already with it!
I'm planning a holiday with my boyfriend which I reckon is going to be the bees knees! <3
Turns out I actually passed my law exam after all which I am seriously chuffed about as it means I can go to second year at uni :)
That's about really just thought I would update my followers!
ciao for now :)

The general public in general...
I have noticed in Lincoln theres a lot of people in the area who quite honuslty are just not helpful!!!
Picture this.... Me and Julie decide once again our cupboards are bare and we need to go to good old Morrisons. I, at the best of times severely hate food shopping, I find it the most boring experience ever and quite frankly get severely wound up with ignorant people ramming me with their shopping trolleys.
So after buying mountains of food, we suddenly realise we have to walk home with 8 carrier bags full of food! As we struggle with our bags, baring in mind we look like two waddling constipated ducks, not one person thinks to themselves i should really give those girls a hand. Even boys who we know live in courts, like us don't think to offer a hand! Shame on them.
Now it was only the other week, me and my boyfriend where driving through my village, whist he was attempting to embarrass me wearing geek glasses and waving at every passer by.
He looked like this.......

very sexy ehh.... haaa
We saw a man lying on the pavement like he had collapsed! I instantly wanted to jump out and see if he was okay, I saw one jogger just run past him without even stopping! This is really upset me as I thought to myself what if it was my dad who had collapsed would anyone stop to help him???
Liam promised me he would make sure he was okay once he had turned back, luckily when he got there and ambulance was treating him.
It just shows that the people of today really do live in their own little bubble and have lost all sense of morals, too focused upon themselves!
When telling the father about what happened he instantly said "but Emma you don't know if he is a drug taker or has a knife on him or any thing." This really does just sum up society of today too scared to help someone in case they are perhaps dangerous.

Getting back into the gym....
Having not been to the gym for at least 2 weeks, I felt perhaps it would be best that I re-booted myself to go.
I never realised just how much my fitness level had deteriorated since my previous visit.
Before on the treadmill Julie and myself could run at least 7 to 8 minutes non stop...which if your thinking to yourself that isn't much believe me when we first joined we could not run even a minute without stopping!haaa
But, yesterday's gym sesh was a real eye opener. It took me 10 minutes to run a mile and a half!!
I am not a happy bunny!
So, it looks like I am going to have to really work my butt for the next couple of weeks in order to get the bikini body look I am after!
Bring on the blood, sweat, and tears...ohhh and more sweat!
Good times!

Hectic few weeks!
After months of being away from home I decided a few weeks ago it would be a good time to bless my parents with my long awaited presence. Oh and because I was starting to really miss my friends and needed some financial support, seen as though I am in serious poverty!
In all honestly was glad to be home as sometimes you do really need a break from the university lifestyle and get back to some normality and decent food. Due to my serious poverty stricken state I have been living off weetabix for the past week. Note to self...never do it again it was like eating cardboard constantly.
My boyfriend also happened to come back home the same weekend I did much to my surprise. I say this because him and his best friend thought they would be really MEAN and tell me that Liam could not get home as there was complications with his flight back to England. Whilst I was heavily intoxicating myself in the local, wallowing in self pity that I would not be able to see my boyfriend as soon as I had thought.... in walks Liam!
I thought I was seeing things at first due to my drunkenness haha I nearly burst out crying haha Weirdly, I barely ever cry its like an annual occasion for me to do so. So now I am worried that I am turning soft ha
Liam if you are going to read this ...which you probably will "when your bored" you know I hate suprises and that I don't cry and now your turning me soft!
One word: Cheers! ha

Sleep Deprivation!!
These past few days I have been really excited as my boyfriend is finally coming home next week after 6 weeks away. However, today I am far from a happy bunny.
I have had 4, yes 4 hours sleep!
You would imagine being at university my sleep deprivation would be due to all night partying from neighbours or alcohol fuelled nights out but no, my lack of sleep is due to swans!
I would classify myself as a light sleeper, I admit any noise and I am awake, but last night really did take the biscuit.
The Swans decided that from 12am to 3am would be the most convenient time for a mating call. I never realised h0w loud swans could possibly be.
I do not think I have ever felt so tired in my entire life, my 9am lecture on public administration was dire.
So word of warning to anyone who is reading this and is considering living in close proximity to a bloomin' swan...don't!
Unless you want no sleep and have to listen to swans mating it would be a best bet to stay well clear, unless you are a david attenborough wannabe.
Rant over :)

Valentines Day
Me and my flat mate, Julie, decided to make a pact with regards Valentines day. This consisted of sleeping the whole entire day and just head into town on the night and drink ourselves to a lonely valentines-less state!haha.
But, please don't get the idea that i am a lonely spinster who does not have a boyfriend (unlike Julie haa joking). My boyfriend is just away with work that's all, so it could not be helped. Glad we have cleared that up...
After realising, however, that our fridge and freezer were completely empty we had to trek into town and go food shopping . As soon as we stepped into the centre of Lincoln we are amongst smug loved up couples and arrays of Valentines day memorabilia everywhere. It was awful, not only did we get heart shaped balloons shoved in our faces we also had to witness the fact that there were couples practically dribbling all over it each other...really was not pleasant not one bit! You could practically see the drool collecting on the pavement like a puddle, i kid you not, some people could have mistaken it for rain.
To make matters worse, me and Julie... well mainly Julie... decided to attend the traffic light party at Wetherspoons. I told Julie it would be practically social suicide, but, off we trotted like two lonely nuns that we where, all the way to Lloyds.
Once we got there it was full of lonely people, like ourselves, wearing stickers to identify their status. Red for taken, Amber for "not sure impress me," and green for single. When asked what colour sticker I wanted, obviously red, I was then told I was a bore! A bore! I couldn't believe it not only was I practically forced to attend this sad event but was then insulted by being called boring.. something might I point out I am not.
The night as a whole was not that bad we met up with some uni mates and had a laugh.
As me and Julie walked back to the flat we made a further pact that next years Valentines Day will be better we will make sure of it. And my oh word, it had better be because i am never, for the life of me, having another Valentines Day like this one.

I officially hate the gym!
Me and my flat mates decided to embark on a new years resolution of losing any excess "chunk" and just in general eat a lot healthier then we had originally.
So, we have become members of the University gym.... bad idea on our part! Not only do we have to exercise ( I'm saying exercise in the loosest term possible) in the view of a lot of physically fit students, many of which might I add, are on the same course as me. I find this highly embarrassing as there I am, perspiring perhaps half my body weight in sweat (not a pleasant sight i grant you that) and looking like a complete beetroot. To make matters even more embarrassing I usually find the student next to me is running like she is running a marathon and me, after running a mile on the treadmill, is about to collapse with breathing palpations. Who ever said joining the gym is fun was most definetely telling a lie!

The joys of being a student!
I decided to venture out on Wednesday night (student night) as it felt like I had not been socialising for weeks. Obviously, this wasn't the case however, but days of not drinking can feel more like weeks at University.
It was an eventful night in all fairness. However, a certain bar in the city centre decided upon a competition where you put your name on to a list at the chance of winning a one hundred pound bar tab. So I thought "why not I doubt i will win it," how wrong could I have been. I received a voice mail from this certain bar saying " Hi Emma if you had answered your phone you would have won a hundred pound bar tab" if that wasn't bad enough he then finalised by saying "i would be gutted mate,"- gutted! gutted is not the word I would have used at that point in time. To cap it off he called me "mate." I've never even met the guy! A serious pet hate of mine! Bad times! I feel this competition is a total con as they know not many people will answer their phone, as like myself, I never heard it ring seen as though I was in a LOUD club.

My first blog!!!
Hi im a Journalism student at the University of Lincoln and have been given the task of setting up my own blogging site as part of my assessment. In all fairness, I really dont know what to expect from this as I am very new to the "blogging game" as such.
So far, since attending university i have loved every minute, but obviously there have been times when i have found the transistion from home to university life a struggle. In terms of not having quite as much contact with families and friends as I may well have liked but however, as my father states: "thats all part of growing up emma."
